Einen Plan haben
Vorausschauende Planung ist die halbe Miete. Fronten nicht überdehnen und am Schluß gewinnt der der noch mehr Körner im Köcher hat. Ressourcen und Logistik entscheiden. Der Krieg ist quasi schon bei der Planung entschieden.
"The "military conflict" referred to in the book's subtitle is therefore always examined in the context of "economic change." The triumph of any one Great Power in this period, or the collapse of another, has usually been the consequence of lengthy fighting by its armed forces; but it has also been the consequences of the more or less efficient utilization of the state's productive economic resources in wartime, and, further in the background, of the way in which that state's economy had been rising or falling, relative to the other leading nations, in the decades preceding the actual conflict. For that reason, how a Great Power's position steadily alters in peacetime is as important to this study as how it fights in wartime."
